I have never seen a problem from greywater systems. A significan benefit to reduced volume to the septic system gained by using a distinct and separate greywater system is increased retention time of sewage in the septic tank. This allows for more complete decomposition and lower stress on the final bacterial clean-up accomplished in the leach area.
